Delius(ed A Summers) The Walk to the Paradise Garden
Bloch ‘Schelomo‘ – Hebraic Rhapsody solo cello – Alice McVeigh
ElgarSymphony No. 2
The season opens with Delius’s seductive and melodious ‘Walk’, a perennial concert hall favourite. In ‘Schelomo’, Bloch personifies the cello as the reincarnated voice of King Solomon, giving the virtuoso soloist a magnificent emotional range. Our symphony celebrates the 150th birthday of arguably this country’s greatest composer with his wonderful evocation of Edwardian England.
